I enjoyed this book. The main character is believable as young and middle aged. Her busy self absorbed life suddenly becomes clear and I know this can be true. Great mystery where everyone is guilty.

Something different. Worth the read.

The author has a love story without making the reader feel any passion, a plot that is at best confused, and some characters that should have been very interesting had the reader exxperienced more about them than through their meaningless prattle.
This author had the makings of an excellent novel, but left the characters relationships needing more development, a clearer idea of who did what to whom in a plot, and statements by characters that are essential to the plot of the story. The storys narrator was too chatty, too many filler senarios, too vague of plot.
